A nice article about the iPod from the NY Times Magazine: The Guts of a New Machine

1&1
1and1 is working out fine so far. I haven’t had a chance to play with any PHP stuff or anything like that, but I did set up a new guestbook and a counter. I may start playing around with Movable Type soon, if I can find the time.
1&1
My site is now hosted on 1and1.com, and it seems to be working out all right. They have a limited-time deal right now where you can get free hosting for 3 years, including shell access, a bunch of e-mail accounts, PHP, and some other fun stuff. Definitely better than Yahoo/GeoCities. I’m not sure if they’ll really honor the whole 3 years, or if they’ll go out of business or something, but I figure it’s worth a shot. Now I need to learn some PHP so I can do some fancy stuff on the site…
new host
I’m looking to change my web host over to 1and1.com, so access to this site through andrewhuey.org may be spotty while I transfer stuff over. I’m sure you can all live with that. 🙂
Thanksgiving
So much for the long Thanksgiving weekend. Back to work tomorrow! I did a whole bunch of Christmas shopping this weekend, plus I mailed out my Christmas cards, started Final Fantasy VIII, and I even made some progress with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Triplets Of Belleville
Looks like I need to check out The Triplets Of Belleville at some point.
Final Fantasy
I just finished Final Fantasy VII. I had started playing in January 2002, so that makes it almost 2 years that it took me to complete this thing. I may start Final Fantasy VIII tomorrow, or I may decide to take a break from gaming for a while and read a few books instead!
Worst Album Covers
Worst Album Covers Ever and Worster Album Covers Ever II both contain some great stuff.

I’m wearing shorts!
Wow, it was nice and warm out today. Over 60, I think. And my apartment heats up unnaturally on days like this, so it was about 78 in here.
brother
My brother called me not long after I put up that last post. He’s out and back home. Yay!
